BOOK NOW, QUALIFY LATER!
Last season, we heard from a number of teams that missed out staying at their favorite hotel or resort. The popular choices sell out early, so this season, teams should consider booking their rooms IMMEDIATELY! ….. If you book a room and your team does not qualify for State, then Event Connect will refund the $6.75 nightly room deposit paid on its website.
We have secured some great Central Oregon properties and trust you’ll enjoy your adventure to the top destination in Oregon! Below are just a few popular lodging options.
